Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead,.... In the stead of Asa his father:

and strengthened himself against Israel; the ten tribes, by fortifying his cities, building castles, raising and keeping a large standing army, as the latter part of this chapter shows, and the next verse.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jehoshaphat ascended the throne in the fourth year of Ahab 1 Kings 22:41, probably after that monarch had contracted his alliance with the royal family of Sidon, and before he was engaged in war with Syria. It was thus not unnatural that Jehoshaphat should begin his reign by strengthening himself against a possible attack on the part of his northern neighbor.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVII

Jehoshaphat succeeds his father Asa, and reigns piously, and

is particularly blessed, 14.

He establishes an itinerant ministry, for the instruction of

the people, through all the cities of Judah, which produces

the most beneficial effects, 7-10.

The Philistines and Arabians bring him gifts, 11.

His greatness, 12, 13.

The commanders of his troops, 14-19.

NOTES ON CHAP. XVII

Verse 2 Chronicles 17:1. Jehoshaphat - and strengthened himself against Israel — The kingdoms of Israel and Judah were rivals from the beginning; sometimes one, sometimes the other, prevailed. Asa and Baasha were nearly matched; but, after Baasha's death, Israel was greatly weakened by civil contentions, and Jehoshaphat got the ascendancy. See 1 Kings 16:16-23.
